The metabolism of low density lipoprotein (LDL, beta lipoprotein) was studied in 10 normal individuals and 10 patients with familial type II hyperlipoproteinemia using purified radioiodinated LDL. Over 97% of the label was bound to the protein moiety of LDL and therefore the turnover data reflect the fate and distribution of LDL-apoprotein. Comparison of the metabolic behavior of biologically screened and unscreened labeled LDL preparations in dogs as well as the analysis of the urinary excretion of radioiodide derived from labeled LDL degradation in humans indicated that no significant denaturation resulted from the isolation, purification, and labeling techniques.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
